No videos of pics here, and not really scary either, but I'll share a personal story about one of each.
About 14 years ago, my brother and I took our (at the time) girlfriends to New Brunswick to meet the family. While there, we took them to a place called Rebecca's Grave. The legend of that place goes something like this:
A girl, who locals considered a witch, was hung and then buried at the base of the tree. Back then, people were afraid that a witch could potentially claw her way back to the top, so she was buried face down. They also doubled up on the paranoia by pouring a concrete slab on top of her grave. It's been a legend in NB for ages.
So, we took the girls there. And my brother and his girl posed for a picture on top of the concrete slab.
We took lots of pictures over the course of the week long trip. Beeches, Bay of Fundy, and lots with family and friends. This was before cell phone cameras though. We had a normal film style camera.
When we got home to Calgary, we developed the pictures. Every picture came out great with nothing being abnormal...except for that one picture we took on the grave. For that one, there was a large amount of a smokey haze behind the couple. It really tripped us out because all the other pictures were fine and there was nothing to explain the presence of the abnormality of the grave picture.
I know it doesn't help much without the picture. I know I still have it, somewhere, but just dont' know where. Someday I'll come back to this and post it, but just wanted to share that.
I had another weird experience in Thailand. We were filming some creepy religious dude preaching on Koh San Road and noticed a bunch of people, tourists and locals alike, staring at the sky. So I panned my camcorder and filmed. There were lights. Over a dozen, moving in the sky. The appeared to be very high. I initially though sky lanterns, but the idea was shut down by a few locals who assured me that what we were looking at were not lanterns.
The lights kept moving in very irregular patterns. Some clustered together and then moved apart. Some stayed away from the rest. It was very sporadic with no noticeable pattern and really messed up. I even sent it to a UFO expert but never did hear back from them so I gave up. But it's always stayed with me as far as weird experiences go.
I still have that video, but it was taken from a phone while the VHS played on a TV, so the quality sucks.
Anywho...those are two of my own trippy experiences.
